The systems are comprised of a boiler to heat the water, specialised pipes to circulate the water, and a pump that pushes the water through the pipes. When warmed water is circulated through the pipes, heat from the water radiates through the floor to warm rooms. The air in a room is typically colder near the floor and hydronic heating delivers heat at floor level where it’s needed most.

Traditional forced-air furnaces blow air into the room where it naturally rises toward the ceiling. It’s a less than optimal solution for children and pets that are closest to the floor and the elderly who often experience the cold more intensely.

Modern, stylish radiator panels that remain cool to the touch can be incorporated into the design, along with heated towels racks. The racks provide luxurious heated towels on demand and help remove humidity from the air in bathrooms that can damage walls and ceilings.
